A Few PreDayations Needed.


The retaliation bill which passed the
Senate oil Monday is certain to pass the
House. Ii is also certain that the Presi-
dent VIII sign it, and that he will not be
slow to exercise the authority with which
it clothes him. There is "a great differ
ence OF opinion respecting the result OF
the exercise OF that authority. The bet
ter opinion appears TO be that II
would be war. The withdrawal Of the
privileges from the Canadian fishermen
which they now enjoy in the ports OF the
United states might not be the immediate
cause OF war, but The feeling of hostility
that would be aroused would he so
great that there mi-ht be conflicts
between fishermen that would lead to war.
The whole country, from Maine to the
Gulf of Mexico, would be ready to sup
port the fishermen OF the United States.
War might be declared before there was
time for the sober second thought to sug-
gest peaceable solution of the difficulty,
The opinion OF the administration and
OF the leading men in Congress is that
Canada is intentionally violating the
treaty between this country and Great
Britain relative to the fisheries, in order
to force this country into reciprocity
treaty. This country is not anxious for
a reciprocity treaty, because it has little
to gain by a treaty OF that sort, while
Canada has much to gain.
The unanimous vote by which the re.
taliation bill was passed In the Senate in-
dicates clearly that there is no doubt in
that body about the correctness OF the
position which this country is taking. If
there were doubt there would have been
votes against the bill. The unanimous
vote also indicates purpose to maintain
the position that is being taken, and TO
force Canada TO comply with the treaty
or take the consequences.
The English and Canadian papers are
inclined 20 think that the passage OF the
bill by the Senate, and the Wig
orous speeches OF Senators mean
nothing ana will amount to
nothing. Tuey are mistaken. There
will be no stap backward. Canada
must permit American ishermeu TO en-
JOY all the privileges granted them by
treaty or the ports OF the United States
VIII De c Osed against Canadian usher
men. THIS country can stand that con-
dition of affairs as long as Canada can.
But would it not be wise 10 make
preparation for hostilties watch. though
not probable, ara possible? The proposed
appropriation for the army this year IS
less than 1t vas last year, aud our coast
ts detenseless. The knowledge that we
have no navy worth speaking of, and
that our seaport Giuies are within reach of
England's rlfed caron and armored ships,
would nave pow RIA influence in induc-
ing Us to hesitate to act promptly and
vigorously should the occasion arise re.
curing us to assume bold and an az.
gresslve attitude. If it is intended ever
to provide coast defenses why should
there be delay ia then after: The neces-
sary money lie ia the Treasury and popu-
lar sentiment Is in favor OF the work.
